Scion xA Performance Overview
Introduced for 2004 to 2004, Scion's xA occupied the subcompact hatchback end of the brand's lineup, with performance defined by efficiency-focused gasoline power rather than outright acceleration. Across 3 verified tests from its lone model year, every result came from the same basic formula: a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE inline-four rated at 108 hp driving the front wheels. That consistency shows in the spread, with 0-60 times ranging from the 2004 Hatchback's 8.8 seconds to 10.8 seconds, and an average quarter-mile of 17.26 seconds at 80.5 mph.
Because the xA's U.S. production run in this dataset covers only a single year, its performance story is concise. The early benchmark was also the model's quickest, when the 2004 Hatchback set a 16.7-second quarter-mile at 81.3 mph alongside its 8.8-second 0-60 run. Other tested examples landed in the same general window, including a 9.4-second 0-60 result, reinforcing the car's steady, narrowly grouped performance character. With no later generations, no hybrid or electric variants, and no power increase beyond the original 108-hp specification, the xA stands today as a short-run gasoline hatchback whose recorded performance is fully defined by that single 2004 model year.

How we verify Scion xA performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Scion xA trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
